Are the atheists beliefs the same as this analogy?

This person doesn't know who his/her dad is and can't find any proof about where his/her dad lives/works etc so the person assumes that he/she has no dad. Isn't this basically how atheists explain their reasoning? I mean look around and tell me this all happened by chance.

This is an honest question, not an insult.

By the way, all the questions asked yesterday under this username were not asked by me. My brother got my password...

Ok so my best friend told her husband that she doesnt feel comfortable having his friends over for supper tomorrow night. There are some reasons such as she will have to stay in her room while they eat in the living room (gender segregation), and she has to wear her Hijaab clothing in her room. Also, my best friend has this thing where she doesnt feel comfortable in other people's homes, but is happy to go out and hang out with them in a public place. The only people my best friend is comfortable having over is her family and me. Do you think she is being selfish or just being honest? I understand but there are others who say she is being selfish. Even I have the same thing where I believe my apartment is my place to take off my Islamic clothing and relax.

I have been a christian since I was three, and I've asked my mom why I haven't heard from him yet, and she says that God will talk to me when he knows that I am ready, but I am so yearning to hear his voice, and to give him an answer! I feel that I am never in the presence of God! Why am I so impatient? Help...if you can.

I recently moved away from christianity, and am much happier with what i believe now. The reason i think i believed in God for so long was because i was raised in a christian family.

These people that "bad mouth" other religions and say theres is the only way... do you think they only do that and believe only their religion because they were born into that religion? or because they have ignorance for the unknown. Some people believe the bible teaches people to "bad mouth" other religions!

opinions?

Before he appointed himself to become an Apostle after Jesus "contacted him from the dead", Paul hunted down Christians and captured them so they could be tortured and killed. This man personally wrote 15 of the 27 books of the New Testament and also could have had an influence on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Don't you think something is very wrong with the fact that some guy wrote more than half the New Testament, without ever meeting Jesus personally? Oh yeah, by the way, the other 11 Apostles rejected Paul and other disciples tried to kill him.

I always see non-Christians upset about some acts committed by Christians.
Please,what do we do against you that brings you harm/discomfort,and what are ways that we can help the Christians and non-Christians get along easier without someone having to forsake their beliefs?

It seems like everyone should be pleased. The Christian and other believers know him and the atheists never have to bother with him. So let's all be happy?

On A Christmas carol by Charles dickens the Marley's ghost tells scrooge that he will be visited by three ghost

(quotes from the book)

``Without their visits,'' said the Ghost, ``you cannot hope to shun the path I tread. Expect the first to-morrow, when the bell tolls One.''

``Couldn't I take 'em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?'' hinted Scrooge.

``Expect the second on the next night at the same hour. The third upon the next night when the last stroke of Twelve has ceased to vibrate. Look to see me no more; and look that, for your own sake, you remember what has passed between us."


But then how come when scrooge woke up after he had been visited by the ghost of christmas yet to come he woke on christmas day?I don't get it...can you explain this to me?

I feel turned on by the idea of being sexually dominated by a man, but I feel like it is wrong for me to feel this way, especially since forced sex is a crime and a serious problem!
Why are some women turned on by it? Is it wrong?

Everything from a failed adoption attempt (we wanted to give a sibling group a family for Christmas) to being invited over to my brother in law and sister in law's on Christmas Eve to enjoy her family's leftovers from Saturday and see their new baby born today, to no snow. What can I do to get more into the holiday spirit?

I have this friend (she's a girl.) She's funny, but her jokes are always raw, dirty, and explicit.

She cares more about making fun of the kids at our school with problems like Down's Syndrome instead of her homework.

She makes racial and religious jokes all the time.


Then, one day I told her I was an atheist (indirectly).


She looked at me (she's christian) and told me I was a peice of **** and that I would burn in hell for sure.


She doesn't talk to me anymore.

What kind of a friend is she!?!? Why does religion have to do with anything!?!?

And more importantly, isn't christinanity all about being kind and tolerant of your peers?!?!?!

How serious is the Neo Conservative Christian movement that wants to take over the country. I watched Jesus Camp and these people claim that 25% of US citizens are with them? What will happen to non Chrisitans if they take over?
